Before he went inside the river for the fourth time attempting to pull out the dredger, he told his colleagues around that he was seeing something in the Onuukwu river, appealed that somebody should help him purchase seaman aromatic schnapps, which he gave the person money to buy it for him, which he will use to appease the goddess of the Onuukwu river. 

But before the person could comeback, the diver have already went inside the river to attempt the fourth time both the dredger machine boat and the diver sank inside the river and have not been seen for the past 14 hours. 
  
The elders of Azara-Egbelu community have performed rituals at the river bank, according to the eye witness, a black big ram was killed and the blood was sprinkled at the river bank as the meat was thrown inside the river. 

But from the information gathered so how far, from his fellow divers, the elders told them that he will survive, but the diver is been held by a big spiritual python and a vulture under the dept of the river and it is very cold there.

This same diver have entered inside the Onuukwu river in the past, to bring out sank dredger and it was discovered that when he came out his ears were bleeding and never told his fellow divers at Onuukwu river why such happened to him. 

But further inquiry made by the Drizzlersnews, about the drowned diver at Onuukwu river, the incident happened at the boundary of two confluence rivers of Onumurukwa river and Okitankwo river, but is called Ishiagba in Igbo language  and dangerous sea animals and the gods of the river are there and from the ancient history Onumurukwa river and Okitankwo river does not align with each other in terms of flowing up to date.
